Reggae Queen, who placed second on Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall last Saturday, is claiming that she is the real winner but the executive producer of the show, Mark Kenny, said this is far from the truth.
Immediately after Bumpa was announced as the winner, people in the audience started booing, making obvious their disapproval.
"I don't feel any way 'cause I know that I won, but because of the sanctions they wouldn't give mi because there would be nobody to promote the brand Magnum.

Last Friday, the show's executive producer made an apology on behalf of the show and TVJ, via the media, for Reggae Queen's breaches of the Broadcasting Commission's directives.
Reggae Queen performed suggestive lyrics and gestures during her performance two Saturdays ago.
During the final, Reggae Queen also apologised for her actions on the previous show.
Although she could have been disqualified, Reggae Queen was only sanctioned. As a consequence of her actions, she was not allowed to do a solo performance and in the future she will not be able to perform on the Magnum road shows or be included on any compilation done by the brand. And, if she were crowned the winner on the night, 25 per cent of her $1 million prize would have been donated to a charity.
While reluctant to give figures, Kenny said Reggae Queens' votes had decreased, which helped Bumpa to surpass her.
